How it's used
Expresses a more intense and hostile form of staring than simply looking or watching. While it is a standard verb, in casual speech, people often prefer the more visceral term 睥 to describe the same action of giving someone a dirty look.
Examples
He seems to dislike me, he has been glaring at me the whole time.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual, friendly contexts as it implies genuine anger or hostility. It is not used for simply staring at someone out of curiosity or confusion.
